Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 62: Heavenly Proliferation Art, I Await You at the Peak with My Dao Body!
Ning Yang unleashed a peerless sword strike, propelled by his Bloodline Power and the Sword Domain Realm. Yet, under Ning Xuan’s Sword Qi, it shattered on the spot like deadwood!
Undiminished in might, Ning Xuan’s Sword Qi shot straight for Ning Yang’s throat. The mysterious Runes lit up once more. But this time...
PFFT!
The Runes were as fragile as paper. The Sword Qi sealed his throat! The ruptured Runes glowed again, attempting to heal the wound, but the ravaging Sword Qi rendered their efforts useless. Blood spurted wildly!
The entire area fell so silent you could hear a pin drop. Everyone’s eyes widened like saucers, unable to believe what they were seeing.
Ning Yang... obliterated by a single sword strike?
The most renowned, peerless prodigy of Dong Cang had fallen just like that?
The future master of the Martial God Temple had met such an utter defeat?
"Your Sword Qi broke my Sword Domain... My Sword Dao Realm is flawed!" Ning Yang had not yet drawn his last breath. He looked at Ning Xuan, not with despair, but with a look of relief and even gratitude.
Ning Xuan frowned. Ning Yang’s state had been strange from the very beginning.
Suddenly, a flash of insight struck Ning Xuan.
"This isn’t your true body!"
Ning Yang laughed. "Of course not."
Outside the battlefield, many breathed a collective sigh of relief.
"I knew it! The Divine Child couldn’t possibly lose!"
"If it’s not his true body, why did it look so real? What is this state he’s in now?" some asked in confusion.
"It is rumored that the Martial God Temple possesses an ancient secret technique known as the Heavenly Proliferation Art! By cultivating this Divine Art, one can condense Dao Bodies. It is said one can form up to a terrifying forty-nine of them!"
"No one in the Martial God Temple has succeeded for hundreds of years. I thought the Heavenly Proliferation Art was lost to time, but Ning Yang... No, the Divine Child actually succeeded!"
"As expected of the Divine Child! I can almost see the day he ascends to the absolute peak and is crowned Emperor!"
"In this era, the Divine Child is destined to rule!"
"I, Wei Zhonghe, kowtow to the Divine Child!" A master of the Human Realm suddenly dropped to his knees in fervent worship.
Then, the behavior spread like a virus as one expert after another knelt.
Ning Yang’s Dao Body was still fading. Ignoring the crowd, he smiled and sent a voice transmission to Ning Xuan.
"Let me tell you something that will drive you to despair. I have now condensed five Dao Bodies. Each one is at the peak of a different Realm, and each contains a different type of Bloodline."
"The Bloodline of the Nine Nether Divine Body is merely the weakest of them."
"You’d better hurry. My next Dao Body is waiting for you at the peak of the Earth Realm."
Ning Xuan smiled, raising an eyebrow. "Only five? I thought you had all forty-nine."
He paused for a moment. "Don’t worry, you won’t have to wait long. However many Dao Bodies you have, I’ll kill that many!"
Ning Yang’s Dao Body also smiled. "I’ll be waiting for you to come and kill me."
As he spoke, he willingly removed the Storage Ring from his finger and passed it to Ning Xuan. It was a spoil of war, and Ning Xuan accepted it without hesitation.
A look of relief washed over the face of Ning Yang’s Dao Body as his body rumbled. A mass of Bloodline, flickering with purple light, appeared in his hand.
"Your Bloodline is of no use to me anymore, but I imagine you still need it. Here, I’m returning it to you."
Ning Xuan didn’t take it, instead glancing at him askance. "Do you know what you look like right now?"
Ning Yang’s Dao Body, of course, couldn’t answer.
"Like a bitch!" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
As the words fell, Ning Xuan threw a punch. The Bloodline, along with the Dao Body, dissipated into the air.
The corners of some experts’ mouths twitched. Still, their devout cries of "We bid farewell to the Divine Child!" soon echoed through the nine heavens.
"Boss, do we make our move?" The eleven members of the Chu Family had yet to leave. One of them asked their leader.
The leader hesitated. This kid is ferocious! If we don’t act now, we might never get another chance. I’m afraid he’ll turn on us once he recovers.
His eyes gleaming with malice, the leader spat out a single word: "Kill!"
Ning Xuan had displayed terrifying combat strength in the battle. If they let him leave now, it wouldn’t be long before they were the ones who were dead.
"All of you, attack together!" the leader commanded. There could be no mistakes!
The eleven stood as one, all unleashing their strongest attacks to overwhelm and execute Ning Xuan. His fierce battle with Ning Yang had consumed an immense amount of his energy. In his current state, he couldn’t even handle a single Human Realm expert, let alone eleven!
Just as they were about to succeed, the void suddenly ripped open.
A Token materialized, suspended in mid-air! A terrifying Majestic Pressure was released, freezing all eleven Human Realm experts in place!
"Ning Xuan is my trial stone. Should anyone take advantage of his peril, their forms and spirits shall be annihilated!"
The indifferent voice wasn’t loud, yet it spread to every corner of Dong Cang. His word became law. The eleven men were instantly wiped from existence.
Their forms and spirits were annihilated!
Ning Xuan’s expression turned grim. The voice was unmistakably Ning Yang’s.
"From this day forward, I am the King of Dong Cang! His Highness, the Divine Child, shall be crowned Emperor, and all of the Human Race of Dong Cang shall revere him!" A voice emanated from the deepest eastern reaches of The Capital, echoing across the heavens and the earth.
Human Emperor? some thought, their mouths twitching. The King has lost his mind! How can one so casually use the title of Human Emperor?!
However, most people simply dropped to their knees in worship.
"We bow before the Human Emperor!"
"We bow before the Human Emperor!"
Amid the thunderous roars, the Token hovering in the void erupted with an incomparably brilliant light.
Ning Xuan stood proudly, his posture as straight as a sword. He stared at the Token, his gaze sharper than ever before.
"What nonsense. Human Emperor? How dare someone in the mere Emperor Realm claim such a title?!"
"Not to mention your claim to this title is illegitimate! And so what if you really were the Human Emperor?"
"Five Dao Bodies, is it? Just you wait. I will slaughter every last one of them!"
HUM!
A peerless Sword Qi surged defiantly toward the heavens, slashing straight at the Token in the void.
"Begone!" Ning Xuan’s roar was like thunder.
CLANG!
Amidst the sound of clashing metal, the Token was sent flying back to wherever it came from.
The crowd was stunned into a daze. The Divine Child—no, he should be called the Human Emperor now! The Human Emperor was impossibly domineering, his word becoming law. With a single Human Emperor’s Order, he had effortlessly slain over a dozen Human Realm experts. Yet Ning Xuan still dared to attack him!
How utterly arrogant!
In the ruined battlefield, Ning Xuan, his face an emotionless mask, swept his gaze over the spectators. He then sat down on the spot and, as if no one else was there, began to recover his Element Force.
It wasn’t that he was being arrogant; he knew these people would never dare to defy Ning Yang’s order. They’re all spineless. What is there to fear?
And just as he expected, whether it was the Chu Family or the experts from Star Moon Pavilion, they all remained silent. No one dared to make a move. The Human Emperor, at only twenty-one, had reached the Emperor Realm in his Martial Arts. This was undoubtedly the peak of Dong Cang’s combat power—the true number one martial artist in all of Dong Cang. Even the King had to obey the Human Emperor’s Order, let alone them.
A fierce wind began to howl. Within the ruins, Ning Xuan’s body was shrouded in dust and sand. The Element Qi of heaven and earth, like a surging river, vied to converge on his location.
With his cultivation at the peak of the Profound Realm, Ning Xuan activated the Chaos Ancestral Dragon Scripture. His devouring ability became terrifyingly boundless. The energy of the Element Crystals in his Storage Ring was devoured with frenzied speed. Amidst a high-pitched whine, the very void seemed to tear apart!
Everyone was shocked. Ning Xuan was cultivating an absolutely heaven-defying Cultivation Technique!
This was the perfect opportunity to strike, yet no one dared to move. The Human Emperor had already planted the image of a god in their hearts. Who would dare defy a divine decree?!
However, that didn’t mean they were doing nothing. The Human Emperor’s Order forbade taking advantage of his perilous state, but it said nothing about attacking him after his cultivation was restored. In the shadows, some had already begun secretly calling for reinforcements.
Even the experts and prodigies in the great powers of The Capital, who had been roused by the Human Emperor’s Order, sensed the drain of Element Qi and turned their gazes in this direction.
